Nordkapp

After visiting Kirkenes we got on our way towards Trondheim. There’s a lot of interesting places in the north, so we were prepared to take quite a few stops on the way. One of these was the North Cape, which is famous for being Europe’s northernmost place, although that’s based on a misunderstanding. But it was a great place to visit nonetheless! 🙂

The cliffs are 300 meters high. They and the rain showers around the cape on the open sea were a fierce combination!

The road up to the cape is also stunning! The landscape switches between very rugged and open highlands, steep hills and curved or spiky cliffs next to the fjords… We hiked up and down to the Kirkeporten (“church door”), a natural opening in the stone cliffs. The stone is worn down by the elements. The layers twist and bend in ways that remind me of some of Gaudí’s creations… But then, he’s known for getting inspiration from the nature! 🙂
